I sighed, “Just a sip… out of… politeness.”
She stared at me for a second, “I’m not your mom, asking you why took a sip of beer. You don’t have to invent excuses or something.”
“That wasn’t what… oh nevermind,” I looked away, frustrated with myself.
Chill Vaughn, you look like you’re mad at her.
“Well, I guess I’ll see you later then,” she said stiffly, turning away.
“No!” I cried, impulse reaction.
Oh Crap.
She turned back towards me, surprised, “What?”
“I… um… I didn’t mean to be rude… just now. I was mad at… not you.” I stuttered.
You stupid, stupid boy, I berated myself, just run while you’re behind.
She shrugged, “It’s ok, people are assholes to me all the time.”
“No kidding,” I muttered darkly, thinking of Cooper. Maybe I can have my friend Kyle ask Jesse to punch him in the face… Jesse probably wouldn’t mind seeing as his gf was cheating on him with Cooper, he probably wants to punch Cooper’s face off. The idea made me smile, and calmed me down some.
